Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Without Oxygen -

city life

                                             with colorful

                                             neon signs

                                             of aluminum


                                            exhaust -

                                            an asphalt jungle

                                            without charm

Jennifer Proxenos July 11, 2021 at 9:56 AM 0xygen there is such a desperate need for it at present, we are killing our planet both cities and jungles. The word Oxygen for me as from yesterday holds an even more significant meaning - my friend's father became a victim of covid because in the last 40 minutes of his life the family could not source oxygen in time to save him. Yet another death, our cousin died 3 weeks ago and an employee of ours working from home died last Saturday, 3 people, one related in 3 weeks. hugs and love, Jenny Anne-Lise Andresen July 11, 2021 at 12:05 PM - Terribly cruel, dear Jenny - In recent weeks, several covid-19 patients have died because hospitals have run out of oxygen ... it's a tragedy - hugs // Anne-Lise

Duke Beaufort July 7, 2021 at 2:42 PM Let's hope we seen the end of fossil fuels for transportation, agriculture, and power generation soon. I think that when people look back at these images years from now (if we haven't destroyed everything) they will say, what were those people thinking!! Thanks for the description and take care.

Rico Leffanta July 7, 2021 at 11:48 AM I wonder how Ilene and joggers can feel better after a walk/run in rush hour fumes? But cities offer young people more choices than a walk in the woods or in the surf. Good luck in the contest! Aloha!
